iNtui-Who?

iNtuitons Experimental Theatre is the University of Pennsylvania's only student-run experimental theatre group. iNtuitons comes from two words: intuition and automaton. The group was chartered to "attract people with diverse artistic interests and in order to provide an outlet for creative people whose ideas are too Classical or Avant-Garde to be supported by existing groups." Check out our constitution.

Each year we present a student-directed mainstage production in the fall and spring, our annual Alternative Theatre Festival featuring student submissions (part of Philly FringeArts Festival), plus participating in the Theatre Arts Council's One Acts Festival each winter. We've also had bonus shows (winter & spring), play-readings of original work by Philadelphia artists, and guerilla theatre experiments (e.g.).

Our "taste" is broad in scope. iNtuitons has produced work by such diverse writers as Vaclav Havel, Sarah Kane, Euripides, Joseph Conrad, Sam Shepard, Milan Kundera, Caryl Churchill... just to name a few.
